A group called the Parents Television Council is taking issue with a television commercial the luxury car maker Mercedes-Benz plans to run during Super Bowl XLVII. In the ad, which previewed online, the model Kate Upton distracts a group of guys who are washing a Mercedes-Benz CLA.

The organization said that while the spot isn’t as racy as some big-game ads, its sexual nature sends a poor, disrespectful message to women and is “about selling objectification, not selling cars,” said Melissa Henson, the Council’s director of communications and public education.
